By Jerry Fisayo-Bambi with AP Published on 11/08/2025 – 6:53 GMT+2 •Updated 7:04 Australia will recognise a Palestinian state, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said Monday, joining the leaders of France, Britain, and Canada in signa they would do so. Speaking to reporters after a Cabinet meeting on Monday, Albanese said that Australia’s decision to recognise a Palestinian state will be formalised at the United Nations General Assembly in September. The acknowledgement was “predicated on commitments Australia has received from the Palestinian Authority,” Albanese said. Those commitments included no role for Hamas in a Palestinian government, demilitarisation of Gaza, and the holding of elections,…
Switzerland opted in 2021 for the F-35s over France’s Dassault Rafale, reportedly upsetting French President Emmanuel Macron. Domestically, the 6 billion franc project only squeaked through in a referendum with 50.1 percent support, a razor-thin margin for a major military procurement. Then came the bad news. Last month, Washington informed Bern that the aircraft could end up costing more than 1 billion francs more than expected.

“What we’re doing is seeking to unite the right around these ideas, these principles, these policies,” says Downes. “We want issues to be the center of gravity … rather than personalities and parties.” Despite just a minority of the U.K. population using X, Downes argues that the presence of politicians, journalists and activists on the platform — where Restore is racking up views — mean it’s not to be ignored. “You’ll see a trickle down effect where eventually our talking points inevitably end up entering mainstream discourse,” he predicts.

“Today, most of the Jewish public is against the Palestinian state for the simple reason that they know it won’t bring peace, it will bring war,” he said. “To have European countries and Australia march into that rabbit hole … is disappointing, and I think it’s actually shameful,” Netanyahu said. “But it’s not going to take, it’s not going to change our position. We will not commit national suicide to get a good op-ed for two minutes. We won’t do that.” While there is a debate in Australia around recognizing Palestine, the country has not yet announced a solid intention…
